In addition, the Germans also developed the FW190C fighter with different advantages compared with the FW190B (because it came out late, it was not equipped with a large number of troops at this time, otherwise it would be the FW190C deployed in Iceland, after all, land-based aircraft are better liquid-cooled. The aircraft uses a liquid-cooled engine, the high-altitude performance is better than the FW190B, almost reaching the limit of the piston fighter, the successful development of this model, marking that the German liquid-cooled aero engine jishu even compared with the Merlin engine produced by the British Rolls-Royce company no longer has a significant gap, and Germany has thus become the only country on Shijie whether it is an air-cooled aero engine or a liquid-cooled aero engine jishu has reached the top level of Shijie

But more importantly, the German aircraft design ideas have changed a lot compared with history, the German government has not had a long-term air force development idea in history, taking the fighter as an example, the BF109 series designed by Messerschmitt who attaches importance to cost performance has always been more valued, although this meets the needs of the German army in the early stage of the war to quickly obtain the advantage of the number of aircraft, but the aircraft performance is not outstanding enough to lead to a significantly higher loss rate of German pilots, as the war continues, the defects of the lack of German reserve pilots are gradually exposed, After the good pilots were exhausted like cannon fodder, there was no suspense about the demise of the Luftwaffe

And this time and space, because the FW190 series has a huge performance advantage enough to form a grade difference, the bf109 series has been completely eliminated. As a result, Germany completely reversed the idea of pursuing performance advantages as much as possible in aircraft design, and the survival rate of Germany's excellent pilots was much higher than in history, and Germany had no shortage of resources in this time and space, so it could hold out in a protracted war for much longer than in history

Although the U.S. government is not aware of this, the ground forces of a German SS infantry division and more than 300 combat aircraft in Iceland alone are enough to make it highly valued. Roosevelt sent most of the capital ships of the Atlantic Fleet in one fell swoop, including 3 aircraft carriers and 6 battleships, in order to defend against air raids by German aircraft in Iceland. The Americans sent more than a hundred auxiliary ships to protect them this time. This fully demonstrates the US Navy's profound heritage and strong communications coordination and fleet command capabilities, and you must know that if it were Germany or Japan, not to mention that it would not be able to send so many ships, even if it were. It is also difficult for them to do a good job of coordinating and commanding. It can always be used to fight small with more and weak with strong. It is also a manifestation of strength

With such a large fleet, it was impossible to avoid the German army in Iceland, which was in a state of imminent battle, even if there was an early warning. Nor could it bridge the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, especially after the Germans tested the American fleet's formidable air defenses in a tentative attack

In the previous battle with the British, the low-altitude penetration tactics achieved good results and were rapidly popularized in the Luftwaffe, but when they used it to deal with the US fleet, they ran headlong into the iron plate, and although the low-altitude sea-skimming aircraft could avoid the US radar, they could not hide from the US carrier-based planes that were reconnoitring in the sky, and when the US planes swooped down from a high altitude and rushed to the German planes, the result was no longer in suspense.

Although the performance of the FW190B fighter is far superior to that of the US F4F "Wildcat" carrier-based fighter, it is still inevitable to suffer heavy losses after being attacked by enemy planes when they are flying horizontally at low altitudes, and when they are forced to pull up to meet the battle, they enter the field of vision of the US radar and are fiercely fired by the US fleet's air defense artillery, as a result, the German army's exploratory attack only shot down 2 US planes, but failed to cause damage to any US warship. Of the 36 planes sent by Germany, only 6 FW190s managed to escape, and 4 of them suffered varying degrees of damage to their fuselages, thanks to the amazing speed of the FW190B fighters

"This battle can't be won, the Americans' air defense is too strong, even if you all fight in, you will only die in vain, let's go, it's still too late to withdraw to the Faroe Islands." , said the division commander of the SS to the commander of the Air Force.

"We're gone, what are you going to do?" , the Air Force commander asked.

"We made an oath to the Führer that we would fight for the Third Reich to Zuihou alone, and now is the time for us to fulfill our oath and fight to the end, even without air support." , the SS division commander replied with blazing eyes.

Although the air commander had always been unaccustomed to the Nazi Party, he was still infected by the SS's tenacious will to fight, and said in his heart, "We will stay, even if we can't do anything with the American Grand Fleet, we can at least help you deal with the landing force." ”

"It's useless, our occupation of Iceland is too short, the new airfield has not yet been built, only the original airfield is available, it is too close to the coast, the American battleships can directly bomb it to pieces, you will either finish with the airfield at that time, or hide in the hangar to escape, but you will still inevitably lose the combat ability (the plane can't get out), and the only thing you can do at that time is to blow up the plane so that it doesn't fall into the hands of the Americans", the SS division commander who was nearly fifty years old sneered, "I worked in the Navy during World War I, how terrible the battleship's artillery fire was, I know better than you, lad. ”

When the Air Force Commander heard this, he turned pale and slapped the table unwillingly, and then a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, "The US military's carrier-based aircraft cannot compete with us in terms of quantity or quality, and what is really difficult to deal with is its powerful anti-aircraft artillery fire, as long as they cannot be brought into play, we still have the strength to fight." But low-altitude penetration will not work, American planes are waiting at high altitude, even if our planes and pilots have obvious advantages, it is difficult to compete with them if they are so condescending, and if they pull it up a little, they will be fired by the enemy's naval guns, etc., high altitude? ”

As long as the altitude exceeds 10,000 meters, the anti-aircraft guns of the US fleet can be useless, but dropping bombs from such a high position is simply inaccurate, and there is no difference from blindness, so when this idea was first conceived, the air force commander felt very ridiculous, but he soon realized that this idea may not be completely useless, because the Americans have too many warships, scattered over a fairly vast sea area, even if it is Mongolian, it seems that it may not be completely blind, and more importantly, What does it matter if you can't get it?
